Mrs. Yurek's eighth-grade students worked in groups to perform a "Character Autopsy" of characters from the novel, A Long Walk to Water. Students made character evaluations based on their different abilities as they related to certain parts of the body. For example, for the "brain," one student reflected on the difficulty the character experienced due to his worrying thoughts about his family. #activelearning #creativity

Please help ECCSS celebrate our awesome CMS Band. They performed their Christmas Concert Tuesday evening. In addition to sharing awesome selections, different members of our CMS Band introduced themselves, the selections, and shared a little bit about what they have learned before each song was performed. We loved seeing our musicians shine!

Ms. Ikner's 6th grade ELA students participated in a student-led discussion based on the Harkness method. Each student posed a question and an answer in the discussion as it related to the three texts that were read. Students discussed the topics that presented in each of the articles and attempted to find the connection in them. #activelearning #studentleddiscussion

Special Olympic athletes from CMS , CHS, and Evans County Hall of Famers demonstrated their skills in the first Fall Games since 2019!
CHS SOGA volunteers gave their time to facilitate bocce and basketball skill stations and cheer on the athletes!
It's good to be growing together again!

On 12/8, Mr. Gay's High School High Tech students took a tour of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) campus. Our students were able to tour many of the classrooms because the SCAD was already on Winter Break. The most exciting part of the tour was the interactive SCAD Story that showcased many of the talents of past students. The students were surprised to see that college doesn't always just consist of book work. Students saw that many careers require more hands-on training as opposed to the traditional learning experiences.

Students in Mrs. Nicoli's art classes are using technology to "travel around the world" and learn about different countries and how they celebrate Christmas. Their research includes what type of food, art, dances, and costumes one might see in different countries during the Christmas season. Students are also comparing those traditions to our American traditions. #4Cs
